US is 0-5 in the last 5 games

Yeah, well no need to panic on this one...this is another story making headlines that is aggravating me to no end. First of all the first 3 losses were all at Copa America where we barely even had a JV team playing against the likes of Argentina, Paraguay, and Columbia. Yes I was a little disappointed that we didn't bring a stronger team but we had no other choice. The US had just spent the last 5 weeks winning the Gold Cup and the players on that roster had to go back to their club teams...remember they are the ones footing the bill. Now the loss to Sweden a few weeks ago was disappointing , but mainly because both teams forgot they were playing a soccer game...it was a scrimmage in my opinion. However the loss to Brazil showed way too many positives to be considered a disappointment. Next up is Switzerland in Europe...this will be another good test for us and I predict a 1-1 draw...
